Madden 09 Demo Videos

With the Madden 09 demo now out in DVD form, and coming next Friday to XBL and PSN, I wanted to drop some quick impressions and videos. I’ll have more over the weekend as well.

From the amount of time I’ve spent with the demo so far it is clearly from an older build than what was played at the Community Event. Apparently it is from an early April build and the one coming next week will be more recent. So not only are there visual differences (no camera flashes for example) but it doesn’t play as sharp as it did in late May. The Madden IQ doesn’t seem to be nearly as forgiving either, as I struggled just to pull in Pro ratings with the demo while at the event I had All-Pro on every one except pass defense. Still it does a decent enough job presenting the overall feel of the game outside of the absent commentary which takes a big part of the atmosphere away.

As detailed previously, this demo gives the opportunity to try out the virtual trainer and then take on the Giants in a “Madden Moment”, the late game go-ahead drive. Continue on to view a video of a virtual trainer play through and nearly ten minutes of gameplay.

LOL @ Maurice N.

“This is looking not good…”
“should I buy the $100 madden or the just normal edition.”

THAT is hilarious.

Basically if you are interested in Head Coach you’d want the anniversary edition. If not I don’t see much value in it.

I bet they would release a new edition with a new cover, or at least downloadable new covers. They’d take advantage of it in some way.

I thought that the camera flashes were toned down on the latest builds. Pasta, do you know if this is true? Also, do you know if the flashes happen for the road teams making good plays b/c that would be stupid! Should only happen for kick-offs, home team “big plays”, end of games, and playoffs. I wouldn’t mind seeing constant camera flashes for the Super Bowl tho. It would be more appropriate.

Wow…there’s an idiot on here who says the game demo doesn’t look good, but then turns around and asks which version of the game should he buy. How stupid can you be? If you like the game, fine, buy it. But if you’re on forums complaining about the game, why in the hell do you still support it? Only in America are people this sheepish. THIS is why EA wont’ change up their games…there’s no reason to, they know that alot of people are DUMB enough to buy the games anyway, no matter how much you complain.

Way to go moron, keep buying a game that you aren’t satisfied with,…so EA can keep recycling the same game over and over again. There are alot of people just like you.

They were supposedly turned down some, but I don’t think enough that people are going to be happy with it. The producers started trying to justify the flashes which tells me it won’t be to our satisfaction.

noooooooooo

i dont know why ppl are anticipating this game. it’s the same damn game, if u played 03,04,05,06,07,08, than u have played 09. they just tweak it every year. last year, defense was too good, this year defense will suck. and the adaptive a.i. thing is bs. it’s just automatic slider adjusting. the game doesn’t get better, they just dumb down the offense when ur up by alot and dumb down the defense when ur behind. passes will magically float into the defenders hand even if ur guy is wide open when ur up alot. o line wont block n e 1. how is that adaptive. u can still run the same play every down and the defense will not stop u. ur receiver will just drop the ball..adaptive a.i. means dumb down a.i.

and about the demo, since they know the hardcore gamers will buy any crap they put out, they are trying to cater to more casual gamers. it’s just a ploy to make more money. why else would they put madden iQ on the demo. u can only play on offense and not defense. wut EA is saying is” screw the hardcore gamers, they will buy the game any ways. lets try to suck money out of the casual gamers that don’t buy madden, lets put in rewind instead of spend our time on gameplay.”

The Pats did win 3 superbowls with troy brown as the #1 WR. but nobody like them so moving on. I’m liking the look, some of the catching animations look more realistic than last year, and i like how fluid the running animations are too. Can’t wait to get my hands on the defense though

i got disconnected 7 out of 10 games, my dynasty no longer works, scores are like in the high 60s …might as well just have the offense on the field, why even waste ur time putting the defense on there. these are my issues with ncaa 09. madden will be the same. a half ass product filled with bugs.
